大流氓

Melvin Van Peebles: That's it. I'd make a film about a real brother. Not some bougie clown like they always do. But, a real brother, a street brother, just gettin' the man's foot outta his ass. Given number one: No cop-outs. I want a movie were niggers can walkout of the picture standing tall, instead of having to avoid each others eyes. Given number two: Entertainment-wise it had to be a muthafucka. If folks get bored, it's over. Given number three: Show business is business. A man has an achilles pocketbook. It had to be a money-maker. The man ain't gonna carry no messages for you for free - especially a relevant one. Given number four: I wanted this picture to star the community - all the community - all the faces that Norman Rockwell never painted.
